The soundtrack is already perfect. A remake with new graphics and sound would have been nice for a PCE CD, if the HuCard version still existed as well, ideally also included on the CD.

The SMS version had the pig smoking in the shop, I cannot believe that with Western games being censored so much that they let that in.

Sega/Tonka wasn't too strict with censorship a lot of the time, probably out of laziness. They left the Medusas in Rastan and Terrarin in Miracle Warriors topless.

I can't even begin to tell you how corrupted and evil I became because I saw those things when I was young.

When I think of Tonka, I think "serious multi-media publisher".

And then, "trucks".

I just played through the turbo version of Wonderboy 3 the dragon's trap and it plays much better and is a big improvement over the SMS version.

I have not played the Wb3 monster lair game yet.. How would U guys rate it as a plaformer out of 10?  I love bikkuriman world to the max, dragons lair was ruined by my frustrating memories of being stuck in it whole I played it on the sms as a child.  Dynastic hero I haven't invested the time to play yet (jp version).

As a fun game in general, I'd rate it 10/10.

It's not a traditional game that fits within cliched genre templates.

It has one of the best pure-video-game-music soundtracks of all time.

Don't worry about getting stuck, the screen constantly moving towards the boss.

Anyone knows why the Game Gear version was named Revenge of Drancon ?

Good question. Maybe by the early nineties Sega had decided "Wonder Boy" wasn't a very interesting title.

I grew up playing the SMS version of Dragon's Trap. Is Dragon's Curse for TG16 enough of an improvement to warrant tracking it down? What's different/better about it?
